AOPA Awards RV-10 Sweepstakes Aircraft A Boeing 787 captain from Livermore, California, is the latest winner of the AOPA Sweepstakes aircraft. Aaron Benedetti was presented with the Vans RV-10 at Livermore Municipal Airport by AOPA President Mark Baker. “This can’t be possible. The RV–10 is a phenomenal aircraft,” Benedetti said. “I’m speechless.” In addition to flying international routes for a major airline, Benedetti is an avid GA pilot and often takes his paragliding gear with him on work trips to explore his exotic destinations. Benedetti was set up for the surprise presentation by his friend Darren Pleasance who lured him to the airport under false pretenses.
